With the current craze of S.K.A.T.E. sweeping the nation, it seems that every scene has decided to join in and create their own version. The latest scene to jump on the bandwagon is Cardiff, with the help of Crayon Skateboards, has decided to dub it “War at the Welsh“. With a mixture of new blood, veterans and sponsored skaters, it looks to be interesting. First two games are already up for your viewing pleasure.
